A ball is thrown from ground at an angle $\theta$ with horizontal and with an initial speed $u_0$. For the resulting projectile motion, the magnitude of average velocity of the ball up to the point when it hits the ground for the first time is $V _1$. After hitting the ground, ball rebounds at the same angle $\theta$ but with a reduced speed of $u_0 / \alpha$. Its motion continues for a long time as shown in figure. If the magnitude of average velocity of the ball for entire duration of motion is $0.8 V _1$, the value of $\alpha$ is. . . . . .
